I’m not sure if I have ever blogged about it (and to be honest I can’t be arsed looking back) but, about 12 months ago we were looking at established houses further out in the country and found this awesome timber homes that were done by a local builder.  They are kit homes and are really homely.  This is what originally got us thinking about building another house and we started looking at good blocks of land. Not really sure what happened, but we steered away from the timber home and decided we wanted our next house to be “the” house that we stay in for at least 10-15 years and made up our own plans.   To cut a long story short, we drove past another one of the timber homes yesterday and it got us thinking ….. what if we get them to give us a quote on our design but build it in the timber, rather than brick veneer?  Well, I went to see them today and it can be done.  Now I am so confused as to what to do?  I also now have to get 2 sets of quotes from a few tradies as it now depends on what type of house we build because the work needed will be different.  I guess I’ll have to wait until we get the house quote back first and take it from there.  It will be to lock up, which makes it a hell of a lot easier.  I would really love it if we could build the timber one and should have the quote by Friday so fingers crossed it isn’t too much out of our price bracket
